Good information for 2/3 of the book

Revisado: 07-17-21

Steven Gimbel is chair of the promotion of Jewish literature on his lecture shows it. His constant elevation of Jewish scientists and the bitter attack of Germany really has no place in these lectures. His personal opinions and attacks have no place in the realm of education. After all he has a government job and he is raking in more cash by reading his course out loud. But Gimbel presents a lot of good information and ideals.

Magical feats of an ordinary human

Revisado: 06-14-21

After readings the Wayward Pines trilogy I wanted to read more Blake Crouch. What a mistake. I'm glad they had few cars in the Pine. All his books now consist of impossible driving and impossible insight. The bad guys are always rich, white fat cats with no regard for human life.

Drive and climb like the best

Revisado: 06-14-21

The story is a warm over of things in the sky making people act crazy. The family of 4 (to young children) climb the walls of huge western cliffs after no food or water for days, A car is driven through the desert and through the woods with easy day after day. All this to get to the peace of "Canada" a magical place that offers refuge, like there is some kind of force at the boarder.

Siegel is a very intelligent man so I only say....

Revisado: 03-14-15

Would you try another book from Daniel J. Siegel and/or Daniel J. Siegel?

No

If you’ve listened to books by Daniel J. Siegel before, how does this one compare?

No

Which scene was your favorite?

His last patient

Did Mindsight inspire you to do anything?

No

Any additional comments?

This is more of an Oprah book of the month than a report on modren psychology. Dr Siegel actually reports a bit of his therapy and some self talk can grow a brain! He solves the issue of nature\nurture in one sentence. And James would be happy, he also solves fight\flight in one sentence. Plus adds FREEZE to fight\flight. We have fight\flight\freeze. REMARKABLE, call Dr Phil!

Dry subject matter made interesting

Revisado: 09-27-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Emerson, Thoreau, and the Transcendentalist Movement to be better than the print version?

Yes the audio version has to be better. The Professor relayed a lot of material that would be very difficult to read(my opinion).

Walt Whitman. Portrayed very well in this reading.

Have you listened to any of Professor Ashton Nichols’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

N/A

Impossible!!

Prof Nichols is really dedicated to this subject. It is dry material but he kept it interesting. I almost got a feeling Prof Nichols was rendering an eye witness account.
